We love hearing why YOU are #PublicSchoolProud!
Justin Dunn, a proud SPS parent and husband of a Shawnee teacher, shares why public education matters to him:
"I was educated in public schools and am currently the parent of two public School students and the husband of a public school employee. Personally, public education was the avenue for my learning. I learned to relate to other people and I gained a foundation for my academic and vocational pursuits that I would not have otherwise received.
As a parent, my children are learning to relate to others from a variety of backgrounds. They are learning to learn. We are able to be partners with the school in their education and development. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
As a citizen, I think public education is the jewel of our community and our country. It provides opportunities for everyone. It provides a community with something to rally around and support and take authentic pride in. Students, regardless of background, socioeconomic situation, or anything else are able to learn and have the opportunity to thrive. The fact that I can be a part of that for my kids and all the kids in my community is awesome.
Public education is not perfect, but people every day are giving their best efforts to see that every student can be at their best and have the opportunity to thrive in whatever they do. No matter who they are or where they have come from, EVERYONE GETS THE OPPORTUNITY."
Our Shawnee Wolves battled hard at the 5A East Regionals, securing 4 state qualifiers! We faced tough competition, pulled off some big wins, and had a few tough breaks, but our boys finished 8th overall in the region!
State Qualifiers:
Booker Dahlman– 4th
Blayne Taber– 4th
Kade Carter– 2nd
Logan Skelton– 2nd
Next up ➡️ State Tournament this week!
Let’s go, Wolves!
